State Representative John M. Cabello has introduced House Bill 4328 (HB4328) in an effort to repeal the Illinois Assault Weapons Ban. The ban, which came into effect on January 1, 2024, is yet to be approved by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). Rep. Cabello argues that this bill is crucial in upholding the Second Amendment rights of Illinoisans.

In a statement, Rep. Cabello highlighted the importance of the right to bear arms, stating, "The right to bear arms is a founding principle of our nation and any citizen – whether in red Texas or blue Illinois – should be guaranteed the right to bear arms. This legislation is a crucial step towards returning this fundamental right to the citizens of Illinois and ensures that our citizens’ constitutional freedoms are not only recognized but fully respected."

The focus of HB4328 is on reversing the restrictions on possessing, manufacturing, and selling assault weapons and related accessories. Additionally, the bill seeks to reinstate the original six-month period for firearms restraining orders.

Rep. Cabello's office can be reached at 815-621-2196 for any inquiries regarding this bill.

John M. Cabello represents the 90th House District in Illinois, which includes various communities in Winnebago, Stephenson, and Boone counties, such as Rockford, Machesney Park, Freeport, Roscoe, Loves Park, and Caledonia, among others.
